This July we celebrated my Grandparent's 60th Anniversary. God is so amazing to let them have 60 amazing years together. You know marriage is something you have to work at everyday of you life its not something that you say I do and that is it. In 1 Corinthians 13 God talks about Love and how it is to be displayed especially in marriage.
1 Corinthians 13:4-8a Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.
You know true love is something I think we all love for. And we have to ask ourselves am I showing love to my spouse by being patient? Am I kind to him? Do I envy him or boast in him? We need to remember every day in every kind of relationship we are in to show this kind of love. If you are not showing God's love like shown in 1 Cor. 13, then what kind of love are you showing to people? I am sure it's not the kind God is wishing to see you show. I know even I need to remember daily to love everyone by being patient and not getting easily angry. Which is NOT easy to do. But if I don't have God backing me up and helping me to do my best then I am not going to show patience to my husband. 
You see marriage is work every day to make sure we can show this true love God wants us to show our spouses. I really hope one day I can be like my grandparents and celebrate my 60th anniversary but I know the only way to get there. Is that true love in 1 Cor. 13. Because we need God to help show love to our spouse. Remember we need to keep God in the center of our marriage to keep a true love.
